unfortunately blurred by android, but henry the inchworm is natures cutest bug. he inches his way up my new boots quickly and collectively. he has such purpose. such bright greens. he flew from the tree the other day, the way inchworms do. floating at eye sight- daring you to fall in love.
i love the essence of this picture. the drab colors make henry jump from the canvas. i only wish i had had a camera on my shoulder instead of a pone in my hand.
eight shades of blue. have you ever seen so many as i did atop table rock?
has the world ever seemed so lovely to you as it did to me looking over the mountain top?
how can the colors exist so perfectly inside the world?
can one recreate it with colors from a box?
simplicity is magic 3000 feet up.
lisa, our post woman, knows everything.
She knew that yesterday I was writing to my grandparents. Today the red flag told her I was returning mail to my summer job. She knows the magazines I read. my online shopping habits. She knows everything.
and she is the most lovely lady in the world.
she has eyes that can see right through you. she knows without asking when something is wrong. she has the brightest smile. she wrote me notes as i battled injury and cheered my on as i rediscovered a passion. she everyday sees our red mailbox and she every day makes me smile.
she is the inspiration for many of my stories.
she is an angel.
i wish everyone as lovely a postlady as we.
oh childhood. your simplicity was so astounding. when everyday could be whatever you wanted. a dragon in the clouds was not uncommon.
oh childhood. when tatoos meant a trip to the drug store. and it was okay to put on seventeen, or even more.
oh childhood. how did you escape from me. when did shoes and clothes replace beanie babies.
oh childhood. might i have you back. i want to be with the children as they laugh.
oh childhood, you slipped through my life like the sand in a glass. youre hazy hot days too perfect to last.
childhood- the most magical simplicity.
an early morning
when the birds are still singing their good mornings.
and the newspaper has landed freshly on your drive.
in the early morning- when students have been studying for three hours during finals week.
and they are on their fourth mug of coffee.
in the early morning- you find serenity.
